Bacon Chocolate Banana Bread

Ummmm…. yeah I did. And when I did, all I could do was wonder why I didn’t think of this before?? I have seen “Elvis” cookies (bacon banana and nut butter). But not bacon chocolate banana bread! I had a bunch of over-ripe banana’s chilling in the freezer, and was standing in line at the market, thinking about what I should do with them. Standing in line isn’t usually exciting, I mean you can only look at the ass of the person in front of you for so long, and then you are being creepy. I like to engage, chat, strike up a conversation, that wasn’t happening. The middle-aged woman in front of me was immune to my smile/eye contact. I am the best flirter… but she seemed cranky. Too bad, because a little small talk with me may have brightened her day.

Anyways, looking at the rack of impulse buys and junk food at the till, (for a “health food” store, there was a LOT of crap: chocolate, sugar, and soy products) and musing to myself about what I would do with the bananas. It caught my eye: BACON chocolate bar. Bacon is a hot flavor right now, found in all sorts of things including: beer, milkshakes, donuts. Why not chocolate? Then I was thinking about bacon brownies, candied bacon, but it’s all been done, banana bread with bacon and maple would be good… and then it hit me. I actually squealed a little. The cranky woman in front of me was paying, gave me a sideways dirty look. OMG! I could barely contain myself. I rushed home and got to work. Without any further delay…

We used to cook extra strips and leave it out for you to graze on. LOL

Funny I lived without bacon in the house for almost a decade! Oh the things we do for love. Or something…
Not sure readers will get your inferences, but I do! The horror of not loving bacon, but some people just don’t. It’s good to have options for vegetarians, or just people who don’t eat pork, for whatever reason. Glad you brought up the futures; with the increased cost of food and the volume of chemicals, (hormones, pesticides, etc) if you don’t have the time and space to garden, take advantage of your local farmers, farmers markets and such. Not everyone has the means or freezer space, but go in with your family, friends or neighbours and stock up. Then you will be prepared in case of a zombie apocalypse! Thanks for the nag of the day!
